Preventions, Pregnancies and Potatoes... (The Things We Hear!)

A 22-year-old Colombian woman used a potato as a contraceptive, and was hospitalized after it began to germinate and grow roots inside her.

The woman’s mother advised her to use the potato as a technique to prevent pregnancy, Daily Mailreports. After the woman complained about severe stomach discomfort, she was taken to the hospital where doctors discovered the potato.“My mum told me that if I didn’t want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her,” she said.

Strange as it may sound, when Sex Education isn't taught properly by parents and in schools stories like these are the likely results.

But while we're at it, because I'm just in the mood to laugh and/or be shocked; what are some of the craziest forms of contraceptives you've heard of or you've tried? What worked and what didn't?

NOTE: For everyone, especially the young, inexperienced or ignorant among us, pregnancy is not the only result of unprotected sex, there's something that could be worse and potentially more harmful; Sexually Transmitted Infections. Your safest bet if you must have sex is to please use a CONDOM, and even that is not 100% foolproof.

And if you're certain that you're both safe and clean and you're also very certain neither you nor your partner have other partners, and the only thing you're trying to protect is unwanted pregnancies, then please there are other forms of contraceptives; pills, IUDs etc. Do your research.

I'll share those I've heard with you, I'll also tell you what I tried:

*An older friend told me to roll up cotton wool into a ball and put some Vaseline in it, roll a lot up into a thick wad and shove it right in, as far as it would go, just before sex. I never tried this.

*Another (older) friend also told me that drinking a lot of Andrews Livers Salt just after unprotected sex pushes everything out and you won't get preggers. I tried this. I can't say if this worked (very unlikely) or if it was due to other reasons that I did not conceive.

*I've heard that standing up immediately after sex and remaining on your feet for sometime reduces the chances of you getting pregnant.

*And the most popular "If you don't want to get pregnant and you have unprotected sex, once you're done run to the bathroom, squat and thoroughly wash off". I know how this might sound logical but anyone who understands basic biology would see all that's wrong with this method.

And oh, I must add that they say when you do that 'standing up immediately after' method it also helps to jump up and down, dance or go for a run. LOL. Please, these are all myths and should be disregarded. Play safe or abstain.

Stand for a long time, jump up and down, dance or go for a run I'm laughing so hard can't type properly.

I've also heard about the popular andrews don't know if it works tho. I've heard of drinking salt and water solution immediately after sex me thinks that just dehydrates you thatsall, also heard of drinking shwepps or lipton all immediately after sex. Most recently a dear friend told me bout vit c's I laughed @ first till I googled it and found out it actually does help ama be trying that cos I don't want no pills making me fat and condoms are just blehhh lols

A Friend once told me to boil small stout n postinor2 if a guy comes inside n take it immediately after SEX.I never tried it though COS I was too scared out of my wits and another friend told me to take flagil n antibiotics lol.funny tins

Amazing Story Shared by Dr. Ben Carson on Facebook, i thought it is inspiring and i decided to share;

The Australian ex-model Turia Pitt suffered burns to 65 per cent of her body, lost her fingers and thumb on her right hand and spent five months in hospital after she was trapped by a grassfire in a 100 kilometre ultra-marathon in the Kimberley. Her boyfriend decided to quit his job to care for her recovery. Days ago, in an interview for CNN they asked him: "Did you at any moment think about leaving her and hiring someone to take care of her and moving on with your life?"

His reply touched the world:

"I married her soul, her character, and she's the only woman that will continue to fulfill my dreams."

*** This made me very reflective. I just wonder; if the person you love today encounters an incident or accident that transforms who they are physically, it could be amputation, it could be paralysis, it could be severe burns that scald their flesh beyond recognition, w…

He was my coursemate, crush, then my boyfriend.... he was superintelligent, smart, tall, dark and handsome. Believe me he gotswag, but he didn't seem to notice me.

After listening to a song "IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY TELL THEM THAT YOULOVE THEM and watching the season film of The Secret Life ofAmerican Teenagers. ..when Amy Jeugerns mum told her "you are onlyyoung once". LOL that part got me. Hope you know what i mean?

Good morning people! Just checking in to sign the register. Lol. It's been a very busy week and it looks like it might be an even busier weekend. I was hoping to get some writing done when I got to the airport yesterday but I even almost missed my flight. It was hopeless trying to do any work on the plane as it was bumpy af, and this toddler behind me wouldn't stop screaming in piercing shrieks like he was being exorcised. I got into town pretty late and needed to keep an appointment ASAP. I'm heading out right now and it's going to be a long day, but thought I should drop this first. Have a splendid day. Im'ma be back soon.

A side chick is commonly known as a mistress or a woman that’s romantically involved with a man who is in a committed relationship. However after doing some reflecting, I realize that’s not the only type of side chick. I want to discuss “the new side chick”–a woman who decides to stay by a man’s side after he has expressed his lack of relationship intentions with her through his words or actions. So many women have made this mistake at least once in their lifetime, and unfortunately I’ve done the same thing. I like to think of the new side chick as an appetizer. You’re there just to satisfy the immediate appetite of the man, but as soon as that mouth-watering entrée comes out to the table, you will get pushed to the side, literally. Why? Because that entrée is what he really wanted; he went to the restaurant to order steak, not hot wings. You were just a placeholder, fling, temporary commitment, or maybe even just a “good ol time” until what he really wanted was presented to hi…

I'm in an amebo mood tonight. Don't ask me, I honestly don't know why. Also I'd like to share too but I'd do that anonymously in the comment section. Tonight I want to talk about secrets. It's ok, we can all be anonymous. Is it true that EVERYBODY has a secret? Is there anyone here who doesn't have a secret? I'd really like to know; You're a completely open book and there's not ONE thing about you that you wouldn't mind other people knowing about? Please raise your hands up. And for the rest of us, what's something about you that no one knows, or very few people know? Who's got a dark secret here, or a weird one, or a funny one even? I really don't mean to be invasive but I don't want to be the only one sharing, plus I think hearing other people's secrets is quite fun, don't you think?

Hey guys, a while back blog reader F said something about creating an Open Keypad post, where you can write whatever you want in the comment section. I thought it was a fun idea!
So who is interested? Comment on anything you feel like, ask me or anyone a question, talk about how your day went, your job, your interests, tell us something about you that we don't know, share a testimony with us, rant about anything you feel like, talk about your crush/boo/spouse/relationship/marriage, challenges you're facing, ANYTHING AT ALL!
I'll only make one request; that we stay civil.

(F it was you who made this suggestion, right? I'm not too sure and I can't even remember the post the comment was made on).
BTW please Ejoeccome out come out, wherever you are!

TTB readers doesn't this tweet below remind you of something? That mail that someone sent me a few weeks back. But why on earth should a man sleep with his son's fiancé? But what am I saying, some men even sleep with their daughters...

Oh well, I'm throwing the question to you. What has happened in your life that you never saw coming, you never hesperred it, you never imagined could happen, you never imagined could happen to you?
It could be good, it could be bad, it could be ugly. Do tell!
And it can be more than one. Let me tell you a few.
-owning a blog
-week long dry fast at Prayer City (I never hesperred it).
-staying in an (emotionally) abusive relationship.
The others require anonymity. LOL. Now over to you.
